Convent of the Society of Jesus

This convent is part of San Francisco Javier Church.

 

Its main façade consists of an entablature above supported by columns with composed capitals, and finished off by a broken gable, with a balcony that is closed in its higher part, emphasizing the white marble coat of arms which belongs to Carlos III, with quarters of Castile and León. We can see obvious Churrigeresque influences.

 

Inside, its courtyard with a large cloister attracts our attention.

 

Nowadays, it is the head office of the Palacios de San Jorge (San Jorge Exhibition Hall) and the Regional Ministry for Culture and Heritage of the Regional Government of Extremadura.
